A couple of snippets here from an App Annie report into how airline mobile applications are holding up.

The 'How Airline Apps Can Improve Engagement' study offers some basic advice, such as make sure it's easy to use, as well as highlighting opportunities for carriers - think ancillaries.

In addition, when it comes to engagement, airline apps don't fall far behind those of online travel agencies and metasearch services which provides airlines with the opportunity to work on engagement further.

When it comes to airline apps with the most monthly active users in Europe, Ryanair's app comes top.
